Double space
Still not accustomed to this hp laptop with Windows 8.1, but working on it. My task for this morning is to draft our worship bulletin booklet for Sunday, March 16 and email it in. Why put that in my blog post? Because it's 7:35 and I'm here looking out on a damp, rainish morning with the breeze coming up somewhat briskly over St. Andrews Bay, coffee finished. Today was supposed to be rainy, but the iTitan display indicates the rain will be done for us by mid-morning, although it doesn't look good for whoever is at Disney today. It was a good night, porch door open, rousing to semi-conscious several times to hear rainfall, slightly cool. Alphabet computer is skipping two spaces instead of one space nearly every blasted time I hit the space bar. How do I adjust that sensitivity?
Yesterday was my best sample yet of why I'm glad no longer to be rector, vicar, priest in charge, senior pastor, ... Up early, three church services, preach one, lead Bible study, home fairly exhausted. It was a one-day reminder of how twenty-five years ago I felt at the end of Lent and Holy Week, after church on Easter afternoon. A priest I worked with in the early 1980s once told me that he'd never want to be bishop, that the best job in the church is cathedral dean, all the prestige and glory but everybody else, including junior clergy doing all the work. He was wrong, the best job in the church is retired helping out as priest associate. And that ain't no bull.
Anybody who's getting weary of reading text with all the gardenia double-spacing can quit reading. I know whereof I speak, because I'm getting bloody tired of it and so quitting typing.
